This Privacy Policy describes the information Beame New York, LLC
d/b/a Beame (“Company” or “we” or “us” or “our”) collects about you
through our websites and all other services we provide, how we use and
share that information, and the privacy choices we offer. This policy
applies to information we collect when you access or use our websites
(collectively, the “Site”), our mobile application (the “App”), when
you use our services or when you otherwise interact with us
(altogether our “Services”). This Privacy Policy does not cover the
privacy practices of the Dental Network described in the Company’s
Terms of Use.
What is Company?
Company is not a dental group or a healthcare provider. Company
provides its users with the ability to obtain access to dental
services provided by independent United States-based dental providers.
A Note about Protected Health Information
If you use Company’s services because they are offered to you from one
of our affiliated professional entities that provides dental services
to you, we may collect Protected Health Information about you that is
governed by HIPAA, either directly from you or from or on behalf of
our affiliated professional entity. Where this is the case, we act as
a “business associate” to the affiliated professional entity, and our
affiliated professional entity’s Notice of Privacy Practices and our
agreements with our affiliated professional entity will govern the use
of your Protected Health Information, not this Privacy Policy. If you
have any questions about the use and disclosure of your Protected
Health Information, please contact our affiliated professional
entity.
“HIPAA” means Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
1996, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical
Health Act and their implementing regulations as amended from time to
time. “Protected Health Information” is individually identifiable
health information that is protected by HIPAA and that we receive on
behalf of Covered Entities. “Covered Entity” refers to a health plan,
healthcare provider or other entity subject to HIPAA.
Changes to this Online Privacy Policy
We may change this Online Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make
changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on our Site
and revising the “Last Updated” date above. We encourage you to review
the Online Privacy Policy whenever you use our Services to stay
informed about our information practices and about ways you can help
protect your privacy.

Your access to and use of our Services are subject to certain terms
and conditions, which are set forth in our Terms of Use.
Collection of Information
Information You Provide
We collect information you provide, such as when you email us, sign up

may collect, but are not limited to collecting, the following
information: your name, gender, email address, mailing address, phone
number, date of birth, insurance provider information, payment card
numbers, bank account number, bank routing number, history of medical
and dental care, and any other information you choose to share with

under 18. If you are under 18 years of age, then please do not use the
Services. If Company learns that personally identifiable information
of persons less than 18 years of age has been collected without
verifiable parental consent, then Company will take the appropriate
steps to delete this information. To make such a request, please
contact us at hello@mybeame.com.
Information We Collect from Your Use of the Services
We collect information about you when you use our Services, including,
but not limited to the following:
• Account Information. When you register with us using the Services to
create an account and become a registered user, you will need to
provide us with certain personally identifiable information to
complete the registration, including information that can be used to
contact or identify you and credit card or other billing information
in some cases.
• Device Information. We may automatically collect certain information
about the computer or devices (including mobile devices) you use to
access the Services. For example, we may collect and analyze
information such as (a) IP addresses, geolocation information (as
described in the next section below), unique device identifiers and
other information about your mobile phone or other mobile device(s),
browser types, browser language, operating system, the state or
country from which you accessed the Services; and (b) information
related to the ways in which you interact with the Services, such as:
referring and exit pages and URLs, platform type, the number of
clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages and content viewed and the
order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages,
the date and time you used the Services, the frequency of your use of
the Services, error logs, and other similar information. As described
further below, we may use third-party analytics providers and
technologies, including cookies and similar tools, to assist in
collecting this information.
• Location Information. We may collect different types of information
about your location, including general information (e.g., IP address,
zip code) and more specific information (e.g., GPS-based functionality
on mobile devices used to access the Services), and may use that
information to customize the Services with location-based information,
advertising, and features. For example, if your IP address indicates
an origin in Los Angeles, California, the Services may be personalized
with Los Angeles-specific information and advertisements. In order to
do this, your location information may be shared with our agents,
vendors or advertisers. If you access the Services through a mobile
device and you do not want your device to provide us with
location-tracking information, you can disable the GPS or other
location-tracking functions on your device, provided your device
allows you to do this. See your device manufacturer’s instructions for
further details.
• Cookies and Other Electronic Technologies. We may use the tools
outlined below in order to better understand users. As we adopt
additional technologies, we may also gather additional information
through other methods.
• Cookies: “Cookies” are small computer files transferred to your
computing device that contain information such as user ID, user
preferences, lists of pages visited and activities conducted while
using the Services. We use Cookies to help us improve or tailor the
Services by tracking your navigation habits, storing your
authentication status so you do not have to re-enter your credentials
each time you use the Services, customizing your experience with the
Services, and for analytics and fraud prevention.
We may use a type of advertising commonly known as interest-based or
online behavioral advertising. This means that some of our business
partners use Cookies to display Company ads on other websites and
services based on information about your use of the Services and on
your interests (as inferred from your online activity). Other Cookies
used by our business partners may collect information when you use the
Services, such as the IP address, mobile device ID, operating system,
browser, web page interactions, the geographic location of your
internet service provider, and demographic information such as sex and
age range. These Cookies help Company learn more about our users’
demographics and internet behaviors.

• Web Beacons: “Web Beacons” (a.k.a. clear GIFs or pixel tags) are
tiny graphic image files imbedded invisibly in a web page or email
that may be used to collect anonymous information about your use of
our Services, the websites of selected advertisers, and the emails,
special promotions or newsletters that we send you. The information
collected by Web Beacons allows us to analyze how many people are
using the Services, using the selected advertisers’ websites or
opening our emails, and for what purpose, and also allows us to
enhance our interest-based advertising.
• Website Analytics: We may use third-party website analytics services
in connection with the website, including, for example, to register
mouse clicks, mouse movements, scrolling activity and text that you
type into the website or mobile application. These website analytics
services generally do not collect personal information unless you
voluntarily provide it and generally do not track your browsing habits
across websites which do not use their services. We use the
information collected from these services to help make the website
easier to use.
• Mobile Device Identifiers: Mobile device identifiers are data stored
on your mobile device that may track mobile device and data and
activities occurring on and through it, as well as the applications
installed on it. Mobile device identifiers enable collection of
personal information (such as media access control, address and
location) and traffic data. Mobile device identifiers help Company
learn more about our users’ demographics and internet behaviors.

Social Media and Third Party Platforms
Certain sections or functionalities on our Services may permit you to
share information on third party social media sites or platforms such
as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+, or other similar
sites (collectively, “Social Media Sites”). Company does not own or
control such Social Media Sites, and posting your information on

protect your personal information, Company cannot ensure or warrant
the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online
products or services, and you do so at your own risk.
Your Privacy Choices
How You Can Access and Update Your Information
You may update or correct information about yourself at any time or by
emailing us at hello@mybeame.com.
Cookies
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer,
you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject
cookies; however, our Services may not function properly if you do so.
Options for Opting out of Cookies and Mobile Device
Identifiers
If you are interested in more information about interest-based
advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put
on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the
Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link, the Digital
Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link or TRUSTe’s Advertising
Choices Page to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from
companies that participate in those programs.
Please note that even after opting out of interest-based advertising,
you may still see Company’s advertisements that are not interest-based
(i.e., not targeted toward you). Also, opting out does not mean that
Company is no longer using its tracking tools—Company still may
collect information about your use of the Services even after you have
opted out of interest-based advertisements and may still serve
advertisements to you via the Services based on information it
collects via the Services.
How Company Responds to Browser “Do Not Track” Signals
We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the
information collected on our Site for third-party purposes, and that
is why we provide above the Network Advertising Initiative’s “Consumer
Opt-out” link, Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out Link,
and TRUSTe’s Advertising Choices page. However, we do not recognize or
respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals, as the Internet
industry is currently still working on Do Not Track standards,
implementations and solutions. For more information about DNT signals,
visit allaboutdnt.com.

Our Services may contain links to other websites and those websites
may not follow the same privacy practices as Company. We are not
